Finally got to see the video. Now excuse while I pick up my jaw from the floor. It's funny, because just recently I was thinking that we needed a good flying adventure/RPG game. I'm a huge fan of Miyazaki's Porco Rosso, and would love to play in a world where flying is synonymous with excitement and adventure (as opposed to our world, where flying is synonymous with annoyance). The developers of Air Mail were seemingly thinking along the same lines.
I'm with squarezero; that is a really impressive promo video, and has me very excited for what I can only hope will be a Universal game. And yeah, for a Chillingo release.. just wow. Very cinematic-looking and impressive in scope; hope the gameplay lives up to the visuals.
New Screenshots: Chillingo also did add a new Feature List at their Website: Class-leading graphics and sound, with additional graphics effects when played on the new iPad. Three game modes let you play each level in a variety of ways, from story-based missions to simple exploration. Unlockable paint jobs let you customize your ship. Full support for the new iPad Retina display. Universal app that plays on both your iPad and iPhone.
Really excited for this title. Not sure what's with the Chillingo hate. They put out all kinds of games, most of them are decent, and some of them are excellent. The main problem is that the excellent ones come out with no promotion, so it's good to see Chillingo going through the trouble of announcing and promoting this title.
